Jay Dufrechou worked for many years as an attorney before following spiritual experiences into the study of transpersonal psychology. While making most of his living as an attorney and mediator, Jay teaches courses in transpersonal topics in online programs and has supported many students in transpersonal dissertation research. He is interested in psychospiritual growth and healing through disciplined work with non-ordinary states of consciousness, including breathwork and psychedelics, particularly in ceremonial settings. Along with Ryan Westrum, Jay is the author of The Psychedelics Integration Handbook. He has particular interest in the work of Stanislav Grof and in designing, supporting and teaching in programs to support the shifts of consciousness that will be necessary for meeting the serious challenges facing humanity, including the ecological crisis. Jay is the author of Moving through Grief, Reconnecting with Nature, which gathers stories from people around the world who experience grief when feeling intimate connection with nature, typically including a blending of grief relating to environmental destruction and longing for the experience of the divine within nature. Future research interests include exploring and documenting the relationship between particular experiences in non-ordinary states and astrological transits and natal placements, following the work of Richard Tarnas and Stanislav Grof. Jay lives in Helena, Montana.
